That cardio kicked my ass at the front and hind end of that workout. Definitely was 😅 sweating!

🔥🔥🔥 I went in the gym feeling down and left feeling like a boss. I also swapped this for the W2 Friday workout bc it looked really fun and I was sad I missed it last week. Added some extra dumbbell sets and a few minutes on the treadmill— my calves were definitely screaming by the end.

YOU'VE GOT THIS! One superset at a time, crush it out. Take your rest days. You definitely earned them And week 1/6 done my babes + bros. Look at you, getting it done and stuff.

No rest here! Max effort. Good form, strong power, breathe on the jump rope.

GOAL
Build invaluable power, conditioning and hip strength 

1. Hip-width stance, begin with kettlebell in hands. 
2. Begin by pushing the hips back and start the upward swing by aggressively squeezeing your butt.
3. Stabilize the line of swing and aim for shoulder height.
4. Keep the arms slightly relaxed and let bell swing down, keeping the weight as close to your groin as possible.
5. Hinge the chest forward and repeat movement. 
6. Hips descend back and down, but above the knees

CUES
- Flat Back
- Brace Abs 
- Proud Chest

Kettlebell Swing

GOAL
Barbell row that challenges your back strength and explosiveness in a deadlift 

DETAILS
1. Have a barbell set with bumper plates. 
2. Get your torso parallel to the floor, arch your back and slightly bend your knees. 
3. Hands are usually wide on this one, a few inches outside your shoulder. 
4. With the bar on the ground, explosively pull the bar to below your nipple line. Essentially your lower body stays in a locked position and the upper rows back. 
5. Return weight to the floor and repeat. 

Pro-Tip- Elbows can come out and away from your rib cage on this one. Don't be afraid to be fast to recruit for muscle fibers. 

CUES
- Chest is Proud
- Shoulders Back & Down
- Flat/Arched Back

Pendlay Row

GOAL
Increase coordination, flush lymph, strengthen your fast twitch muscle fibers, and increase speed #SoAthletic

DETAILS
1. Feet together.
2. Grab rope with wrists slightly in front of hips.
3. Thumbs face away from the body, shoulders are relaxed, and chin is neutral.
4. Hop low and quickly on your toes will whipping the rope with your wrists. 
5. Let the rope rotate around your body and jump as the wrists slap down.

Pro-Tip: The more relaxed you are, the longer you can keep your natural rhythm.
Pro-Tip II: Drop the rope. Jump low and fast and slap your hands on the front of your thighs. Double tap them to practice double unders. This simulates the timing and coronation needed to jump rope. After warming up with this, carry the same rhythm but just add the rope. 

CUES
- Hips In Place
- Posture is Upright AF
-Ribs Tucked

Jump Rope

Ooof.

GOAL
Focus on targeting that brachialis to contribute to arm thickness more so than just your biceps #SecretSauce

DETAILS

2. Elbow should be slightly in front of your hip, putting more stress on the bicep. 
3. Contract your bicep to raise the weight to your elbow. Curl slowly and focus on the squeeze. Relax the shoulder and just squeeze blood into your bicep.

Pro-Tip: Elbows don't flale, chest isn't overly activated, and you aren't rotating the weight at all. Straight up, straight down.

W1/D5 Mental Toughness Friday 1

Branching out with your programs. On the recovery from an ACL surgery last May. Was in tip top shape with your Fighter program prior to injury.  Put on 30 pounds while down. I’m an avid cyclist. Never been over 130-135. Sitting at a nice 163 now, trimming inches. Feels good. The number doesn’t matter anymore. Seeing progress. Any tips are appreciated.

Carrington Vercher

I’m so excited to get started! Right program, right time. I need this!

W4/D5 Mental Toughness Friday 4

Great work out. Still frustrated trying to find a good alternative to match a ski erg machine. Even at 2 gyms I go to don’t have them. Unless I pay to go to a specialty gym or a CrossFit one. Either way, love the combination of movements. Struggled a little in the medicine ball and work.

That last set was rough. Harder than mental fitness Friday last week.

Amber Lawrence

W5/D1 Full Flex

It was a killer one.
